  1. I do know that song
  2. If you like pancakes. I don't order small quantities of small sets from Amazon because they always send in bags. And wouldn't advise anyone to order from both accounts. Maybe you have it setup with no connection whatsoever but that can get you banned.
  3. If you are not sure, start high.
  4. I've actually never even tried creating a listing or learning how -- been no real need to.
  5. We've talked about it in this thread recently. There are no listings for GWP's from latter half of last year on and many new Lego products that have no listings. Many who had the ability to no longer are able to create new listings. I implied this in the GWP thread when peeps were talking about the new one. "Where ya going to sell it??" Except for a few instances where I couldn't help myself, I haven't been buying anything since the holiday sales. There are no listings and if you notice, Amazon is getting more and more inventory of "Lego Exclusives" so that market seems to be closing.
  6. how much was it?
  7. I'm only aware of USA
  8. I'm such a sucker. Let's go!
  9. Anyone hear getting gated again. I was just talking to some sellers this morning that there are sweeping gates that have been going on on many brands. They are not big time into Lego by any means, but they were gated there "again" after being ungated after the holidays. Also, where previously you had to provide receipts with purchases showing quantities of 10 to get ungated on products, the bars were raised into the hundreds. This game is getting pretty risky. Amazon is either gating sellers, not allowing listings, or taking the listings for their own stock post retirement. It's been fun, been doing it since the early 2000's, but getting hard justify taking a large position with this stuff anymore. Cool new GWP but without a viable platform to sell it on what do you do? There's no listings for the items I would buy anyway. 😔
  10. I'm waiting to see if they do double points. Seems every time I jump in early they follow up later with 2x
  11. But where are you going to sell it?
  12. hmmm,, checkout page will not load. just says "too many attempts"
  13. I'm all FBM now. Good variety so I can move at a decent daily pace but overall the volume is just not there like it used to be. I blame Amazon more than anything economic. Suppressed listings, no buy boxes, and no listings at all. I've been in this game a long time and have always rolled with the punches and adjusted strategies but I'm not sure I'm going to fight my way through what is going on now. It doesn't really matter the return if you can't move the product. Tough to bet on a listing if Amazon carries it because how long will they continue with it? No worries, I'll buy Lego exclusives. Ooops, no listings for those now. Retiring Lego exclusive? Oops, Amazon suddenly has it. GWP's? nope. Best I can do right now is maximize my pricing through FBM.
  14. Hello to you as well 😎
  15. You have to pay currency exchange fees as well.
  16. I can't help but feel all these botanical sets are not being bought by traditional Lego people. They probably expanded their market.
  17. I think their strategy is to make a fancy box first, product second. Bigger, studier, black box says "value"
  18. Ouch! I missed that. Yeah, better to either heat gun that tape or just leave it there. I'm sure if you put another Titanic inside you could recoup some of that.
  19. List it on Ebay and see what you get!
  20. Mine too. Most all confirmed now.
  21. My Walmarts orders were "confirmed" up to November 12th. Still have orders "pending" up through December 20th.
